I love historical poetry, and this book did not let me down. Nyquist takes us from the parties of the Oppenheimers to the concentration camps of fellow Americans, from Los Alamos to the bombs, and everything in between and after. I hope this book is picked up and taught in American History Classes. And don’t think you’ll only read one or two poems at a time. You won’t. You’ll read several, if not the whole book. Yes, they are that good.
